5830 Problem

[jcortez1594]

Hi, I'm mining using a 5830 and only getting around 170Mhash/s. Even OC, I still only get around 200 Mhash/s. I'm currently running catalyst v12.10 and opengl version 6.14.10.11931. Most people say that they normally get at least 300Mhash/s. What should I do to try to fix this?

What is your clock rate?

[jcortez1594]

850MHz GPU, 900MHz Memory

[sal002]

Try changing the rate to 1000 on the engine and 350 on the memory first.

[jcortez1594]

The AMD VISION Engine Control Center only lets me set my GPU between 600 and 875 MHz and only lets me set memory between 900 and 1200 MHz.

What OS and mining software are you using? I recommend cgminer : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.0

[jcortez1594]

I'm on windows 7 64 bit and using guiminer.

[sal002]

I'd try out cgminer - you can overclock in it.  Your clock settings should be adjusted.

[jcortez1594]

Cgminer worked better. It wouldn't let me go up to 1000Mhz, but even at 850 I'm now getting 260Mhash/s.

[sal002]

Did you try a higher clock rate?   It might say the range is one thing and warn you (just say "y"), but you should be able to input a higher value

[jcortez1594]

I did, but it stopped working after I did. Went "SICK"

use

www.nogleg.com/archive/barelyclocked.rar

unrar it somewhere, type barelyclocked

if there's one gpu, it'll be gpu 0

so then

barelyclocked gpu=0 memory=160
barelyclocked gpu=0 core=1000
barelyclocked gpu=0 vddc=1.163 (not necessary in this case, since it defaults to performance level 3)

then cgminer should run at 128 worksize, 2 vectors, and you should get ~320-325mhash

most cards can run at 900-930/160 @ 1.063v & 730-790/130 @ 0.95v, which is better depending on the cost of your electricity.  the 1.063v option is better in almost all cases

manually edit cgminer.conf file so that your fan speed doesnt max out at 85%
